When he left, instead of just arming the sector of the alarm for the gym, he accidently armed the whole building. We were back in the Auto Shop, and we didn't even know what was going on until the cops showed up at our door. Seeing a bunch of cars parked behind the school, and an open door, one cop came in the back door, with his gun drawn, and scared the heck out of all of us. To make matters worse, an hour later, the janitor made the same mistake, bringing two cops this time, sans guns (fortunately). All in all, it was a pretty eventful weekend...

Haha, that's great. We have had several incidents where policemen come to our school while we were working late, but they never had guns. Everytime they came we would swarm around them and tell them about FIRST and show them the robot and be as excited as we could be
I think they liked it though, one time one of them who had been before started telling his partner about us, so then we had to turn the 'bot on and give them a demo. Most of the time they ended up coming while we were eating too, so they weren't an inconvinience. Of course ... our school wasn't very happy about having police there
